Pros

There aren’t any pros anymore.

Cons

The leadership at the St. Louis location is toxic. The president of EWS is only concerned about his big year end payout and allows narcissistic managers to run their teams without any knowledge of how to do so. They lead by fear and intimidation and hire/promote unqualified people just to save a friend from the unemployment line. One of the leaders of the departments under EWS is a complete farce. Only cares about his paycheck and doesn’t care, or even care to learn, the ways to build or retain business. He would fail a basic quiz if asked to describe the products and benefits that are being sold. News flash, the people, and clients, who are leaving in droves are leaving him and his favorites, not the company.

Pros

My direct manager. Comp plan if you’re lucky enough to find several whale clients, and if you’re lucky, the commission is approved.

Cons

There are a lot. First, office politics. Equifax expects employees to be very corporate and robotic. Metrics metrics metrics. 100% focused on revenue, not customers. Metrics, metrics, metrics. PIP overuse. Even when you’re 150% to yearly plan 6mo in, they expect 300%. Make sure to keep receipts. Senior management will find the most ridiculous ways to push reps out, continently right before a huge payout of a very delayed commission plan. (Sell something in Jan 2025, you will only get a fraction of commission until June 26). That’s if the exception committee approves payout (which never happens). If you sell a big deal, don’t expect to get paid 100% of what the plan says.
